I have tried to go into recovery notta.......there was an image recovery downloaded. SHOULD I HAVE USED CWM????
Your bootloader wasn't unlocked. Use Odin to flash back to stock and make sure your bootloader is unlocked before flashing clean rom.

Did you put it in download mode? Hold volume down+ home while powering on the phone.

You may also need to download the drivers for the note 2 so the computer will recognize it
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Odin is reconizing the drivers cause there is 'com' number so from what i understand the drivers are installed.
Heres my problem , Odin is going down the checklist (or whatever it is doing) when it gets to the sboot.bin it stops and says
< ID: 0/005'Complete write/ operation failed'
<OSM> All threads completed (succeed 0 / fail 1)
I would assume the ID is bc the 'com' nuber was 5
I think i have found evry thread out there to try and fix this via Odin.....but you guys are the experts
I dont know what else to do P L E A S E help all I want it to be is restored------
I downloaded the correct drivers directly from samsung
I had the same error /problem after installing twrp without realizing my bootloader was still locked. I followed the instructions in this link (1b directions) and flashed back to 4.1.1. Then took the 4.1.2 update and used Adams casual utility to root and unlock. I'm not an expert by any means but this worked for me.

Also make sure to use the "Alternate Restore" file as it does not contain the bootloader. It's a. Xz file and you will need to unzip it with 7zip or something else.

Yea I saw this thread- bottom line which download do I take? the : Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12
or: Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12
and Im not sure of the "alternate restore" file you are referring to...Im sorry
I am not an expert either....especially with the note II since I just got it via 3rd party SWAPPA bc of not wanting to loose my unlimited data. I was told it was unlocked and obviously I was F'd
Also- I saw this thread last night I downloaded the (Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12) and did the instructions to the "T" and still got failed-did I miss something...
I hope you or some others are out there to help me ....I would love to get this up and running
On the thread with the official there is a download link below the official and mirrors titled Alternate Restore. It doesn't contain the bootloader and I believe that is the file you need to use. If your bootloader is locked odin fails at the point where the file you're downloading tries to download the new bootloader, hence the need for the file without the bL. Does that make sense?

here are the steps. Flash root66 which will bring back your note to life and the software would be 4.1.1. Use Jailbreak tool to unlock the bootloader and you will be golden.

Yes it sorta does (i am still learning) and WOW i read the the bold print about the alternate restore but never ever saw the download file ( i wasnt looking)
Is that the file you used??? and then went to Casual and let that do its thing? (which I have already downloaded to my laptop)
That is what I did. I read about the method droidxrooting said but can't personally speak for it (but I'm sure it works too). If you use the file I used just remember to unzip it even though it's not labeled a zip file and make sure you use the correct casual method.

I have an ATT Note 1717, It got bricked during a bad root. Referring to this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634087, I'm trying to complete the last step with the Image file and the ADB command. Just taught myself how to do this reading on the net. When I try the ADB command for the image file ADB tells me the file does not exist. I copied and pasted as suggested and placed the recovery image file from the original stock tar on the SD card and the internal USB storage file, but to no avial. I noticed when I view my device on windows explorer it shows the SD card as simply Card. Is this maybe the problem? Should the sdcard command be edited to read just Card in the ADB command. I'm affraid to try this on my own fearing it will brick the phone again. Any suggestions as to what I'm missing here

It's because your bootloader is locked and you have a custom recovery or ROM. You will need to Odin the root66 image from droidstyles guide that's stickied under development.

Odin does not install to your computer, it simply launches.
What OS are you on? If you're on Windows Vista or 7 it should work perfectly, I don't know if it'll work on XP. On Mac I believe you use Heimdall. On Linux you use Heimdall.

The toolkit can be dangerous just because it had an unreleased firmware (it was what Samsung used to test the phone before they started selling it) that was the "return to stock" firmware, and I'm unsure if the creator ever removed it so it still probably has it, and was completely unrootable by all of our exploits, unable to be unlocked, and unable to be flashed in Odin so there is no way to get back to stock.
While the other things in the toolkit haven't had as many big complaints as the "return to stock" feature I still wouldn't use it. If it has that there is no telling what else is going on behind the scenes.

Have a verizon s4 that was originally on mdk. I rooted, and have been using hyperdrive for some time. After many sudden random reboots, I decided to change to another rom, Gdux. When I lost wifi, it was recommended to flash a new kernel to restore this functionality. As soon as I did this, I got some screen that said return your phone to verizon, something about unauthorized software.
Searched and searched the net and found that I could odin back to stock again. I followed all instructions,but now phone won't boot past verizon splash screen, and it gets hot. REALLY hot while sitting there on verizon splash screen. I can't get to recovery, only download mode after I pull battery. Going to "lose" phone for warranty replacement if I can't get it to work.

If you haven't taken any OTA's or flashed any radios, then you don't need to worry about that part.
Flashing the .tar file SHOULD have the kernel included... or at least I'm thinking it would. It should.
But after It flashes in Odin, let it sit for a good 20 minutes after it says success. Just so you can be assured that it had the time to flash successfully.

So I have been working on a friend of mines Verizon Note 2 (SCH-I605) and have run into an issue... I had rooted it successfully to root66 VZW stock sys, then attempted to unlock the bootloader according to the [email protected] galaxynote2root(dot)com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605.... without reviewing the multiplicity of comments below the article which should have caught my attention and let me know that many people were unsuccessful with that method.
So now i appear to be screwed because it will boot into ODIN but thats it. I cant even get into stock recovery. Upon boot the Galaxy Note 2 splash stays on indefinitely, as it does when i follow the instructions on this site to restore it from a failed unlock, or unroot...... ODIN 3 + sch-I605-16gb.pit + Root66-VZW-stock_sys, when it reboots following flash the splash screen stays on. I have checked the NAND erase All as suggested on this site, and it makes no difference.
When vol up/home/power is pressed it says something to the effect that 'you are a dumb*ss and have screwed up your firmware dipsh*t'....
So what now? Id hate to have to replace my buddies Note 2.... and I had absolutely 0 difficulties unlocking and rooting my HTC One, so this sucks....

Have you tried using a different image? What version of stock was on it before you messed with it?
Edit: If the stock version wasn't MJ9 or above then don't flash those. There currently isn't and probably won't be a way to unlock the bootloader on MJ9 and above.

as per a suggestion i read on xda.. it too failed as well, but then when i flashed root66 again (also i think with NAND ERASE on) it booted up beautifully...

i have recently read on a site that offers a bootloader downgrade service that if it has a knox counter, then it was updated to a version with a 'permalocked' bootloader... and if this is referring to the counter on the ODIN screen that says KNOX WARRANTY VOID:0 then this one is such a device.....

When you enter download mode does it say anything about Knox?
Edit: I didn't see your last post. Since it had the updated firmware with Knox, you should be at least able to get the phone working again by flashing that version of the firmware in odin. If it was on Android 4.3 then you should be able to odin MJ9 and it will work again. If it was on 4.4.2 then using odin to flash the ND7 image should fix it.

So I have been working on a friend of mines Verizon Note 2 (SCH-I605) and have run into an issue... I had rooted it successfully to root66 VZW stock sys, then attempted to unlock the bootloader according to the [email protected] galaxynote2root(dot)com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605.... without reviewing the multiplicity of comments below the article which should have caught my attention and let me know that many people were unsuccessful with that method.
So now i appear to be screwed because it will boot into ODIN but thats it. I cant even get into stock recovery. Upon boot the Galaxy Note 2 splash stays on indefinitely, as it does when i follow the instructions on this site to restore it from a failed unlock, or unroot...... ODIN 3 + sch-I605-16gb.pit + Root66-VZW-stock_sys, when it reboots following flash the splash screen stays on. I have checked the NAND erase All as suggested on this site, and it makes no difference.
When vol up/home/power is pressed it says something to the effect that 'you are a dumb*ss and have screwed up your firmware dipsh*t'....
So what now? Id hate to have to replace my buddies Note 2.... and I had absolutely 0 difficulties unlocking and rooting my HTC One, so this sucks....

Did ID:COM turn blue in Odin? . You might have a driver problem.

The older one would be 4.3 which is MJ9. And yes use the pit file with it.
And just in case, I know you probably don't need it, the instructions for flashing with odin are in the return to stock section of the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

right you are about 4.3 being older... i was looking through the stock roms in that very guide and saw 4.1.2 and thought that was the one you had mentioned... im downloading MJ9 now..... thanks... hope this works...
so let me ask you this, if i get it back to stock, and rooted again... even though i cant unlock the bootloader, can i get it network unlocked? this entire dilemma occurred because he wants to be able to throw a straight talk sim in this phone.
i had intended to try this www(dot)scottsroms(dot)com/showthread.php?2786-How-I-turned-my-Verizon-Note-2-into-a-World-capable-GSM-phone
once i fixed the disaster....

Once you get the phone working you can use Saferoot to root it, that is as long as it's working on MJ9. If the phone had been updated to ND7 which is Android 4.4.2 then there currently isn't a way to root it.
Remember even if you get root you won't be able to use a custom recovery to flash stuff.
Also the sch-i605 is already Sim unlocked from Verizon. You just have to be able to edit the apn settings.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I don't know a lot about root66 so I can't help you much there, but I do know that while in download mode if it says something about Knox warranty then the bootloader had been updated to a version with Knox which started with mj9 for the i605.
